God is indeed working all things according to His good purpose in Christ.\n\nIn this expositional sermon from Ephesians 1:11-12, Nathan Johnson looks at the idea that we have been predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His own will \u2013 and shows how though God doesn't cause everything, He is using everything for our sanctification and for the praise of His glory. And knowing this, changes everything.\n\n Download the shownotes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: deeperchristian.com/ephesians-study-023/","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/b836a445-8b1e-427c-b3a6-53810ea65390/dc-ephesians-podcast-cover-zacha-2.jpg"}
